When you say "I've copied ntbackup to XP home", I assume you did not know that an installation image exists on the XP Home CD in valueadd\msft\ntbackup. Also, there is, or was anyway, a version of rsync floating around patched to support VSS. I grabbed one a while back and used it to successfully back up open files on Windows XP Pro and Home machines, including .PST files while Outlook was running. Unfortunately, there were questions regarding the distribution of that particular binary along with the support libraries it required. I have not been able to locate it recently. CYGWIN.DLL has recently included support for the VSS device namespace used by VSS. I have not yet gotten around to investigating it further.
